[All L5M3 Questions]

ABC has a contract with its supplier DEF who delivers pasta to ABC's manufacturing plant. DEF has committed a breach and conflict resolution has taken place. The Court has awarded ABC 'specific performance' damages. What could this involve?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

DEF must deliver the pasta required by ABC is the correct answer. Specific performance is when the innocent party is rewarded by receiving what was initially negotiated - in this case the delivery of pasta. It's basically a posh way of saying that the court mandates you to do what the contract says. See p. 129 for information on Specific Performance.

Exactly! Paying money would be more like compensation, not specific performance.

I almost chose option B, but then I remembered specific performance usually means doing what was agreed upon.

I think 'specific performance' means DEF must fulfill the original terms. So, option C?

That question was tricky. What really is 'specific performance'?
